O Yes, they are two dimensional and used symbols.
O Yes, they are two dimensional and used symbols.
The answer to this question is: O Yes, they are two dimensional and used symbols.
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the options and understand each one:
1. "Yes, they are two dimensional and used symbols":
Early cave paintings can be considered graphic design because they are two-dimensional, similar to traditional graphic design. These cave paintings often used symbols to convey meaning or tell a story, which is one of the fundamental aspects of graphic design.
2. "Yes, any art that expresses meaning is graphic design":
Although this statement might seem broad, it is partially true. Graphic design is a form of visual communication that aims to convey a message or meaning. Therefore, any kind of art that expresses meaning can fall under the umbrella of graphic design.
3. "No, graphic design needs to have some commercial purpose":
This statement is incorrect. While graphics design can certainly have commercial purposes, such as creating advertisements or logos for businesses, it is not limited to only commercial contexts. Graphic design encompasses a wide range of artistic expressions, including but not limited to commercial art.
4. "No, graphic design generally pairs words and is printed or published":
This statement is also incorrect. While graphic design often includes the use of typography (the art of arranging type), not all graphic designs necessarily involve words. Additionally, graphic design is not limited to only printed or published works. With the advent of digital media, graphic design has expanded into various forms, including web design, interactive designs, and more.
In summary, early cave paintings can be considered graphic design due to their two-dimensional nature and the use of symbols for expression.
